“Oh king of the birds (Garuda), if gopi-candana is

marked on anyone's forehead by the mercy of the

Supreme Lord, no planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, etc.),

Yaksas (semi demigods), Pisacas (ghosts and

devils), snakes and demons can harm him.” - [Hari Bhakti Vilasa 4/238

from Garuda Purana spoken by Narada Muni]

“One should mark the tilak on his forehead

as follows: he should start from the nose

tip and go till his kesa (hair). The width

should be one angula (circa 1 inch). This is

urdhva pundra laksana”. – Vasista Smrti
